Arendse sitting right at the top of all time try ratio for the Boks.
7% better than Gerber.
...but he only scores run-ins.
Weird that try ratio means nothing but it literally has its own category, and when you look at the list, the top players are high up on it. Almost as though it is actually a meaningful metric. Go figure.
My guess is both Aendse's tries on the weekend would also be considered run-ins.
Egg Chasers is absolutely correct. Arendse is a rugby cheat code.
A future hall of famer.

Are you asking me to prove your point?
Check your spelling

What matters is numbers and, as it stands, Arendse's numbers are the best in Bok history.

I agree Arendse is a bloody amazing player never going to deny that. He is easily one of the best wings in the game
He is obviously super skilful but also as hard as nails punching way above his weight. The fact that he is fearless also helps
Together with Kolbe we are blessed to have such class out wide - refreshing is the fact that they rely on skill not brawn to beat their opponents

Now, back to what I said months ago...before I had to show all of you his numbers.
Arendse is ahead of Kolbe for me.
A rugby cheat code!

Nope Arendse is not ahead of Kolbe - too tight to call. Kolbe has scored the better test tries, Arendse has the better strike rate but many where hardly skill based

Not in the case of those easy test tries he has scored - the majority of which have been easy run in’s
